Why do you ask for professional references? How do I add references to my profile?

We ask for professional references from talent to give employers a well-rounded view of your skills and experience on GloballyHired. References offer an external validation of your work ethic, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities, further adding credibility to your profile.

Employers often need these references to make informed hiring decisions and check them before extending a job offer. Preparing your references in advance ensures no delay in your candidacy when your dream opportunity arises.

How to add professional references
  1. To add professional references to your profile, go to Account Settings > My references.

  1. Next to the reference number meter, click on + Add new reference.
  2. Enter the reference’s name, the company where you worked together, and their job title during your collaboration. You’ll also need to provide their email address, specify your role at the time, indicate whether they were a direct manager or a co-worker, and include the start and end dates of your collaboration.
